Fort Worth Trash Removal

_If you are a resident of Fort Worth, then you may be visiting this website to get information on weekly trash pick-up at your house. This is what you need to know: The City of Fort Worth has three different residential trash containers available to you. Fort Worth Recycling is not mandatory, but they do however offer a 64 gallon recycling cart at no charge.

The smallest Fort Worth Waste bin is a 32 gallon container, which is ideal for smaller households who do not generate a lot of trash. As of 2012, this service cost $12.75 per month (plus Texas sales tax). The next size trash container is a 64 gallon garbage cart…this cost $17.75 per month (plus Texas sales tax). This container is ideal for the mid-size family who is very pro-recycling and diverts their solid waste in other ways. Lastly, for large family’s (or mid-size families who may do a lot of “hosting”) the City of Fort Worth offers a 96 gallon cart for $22.75 (plus Texas sales tax). Considering the price difference for each container is nominal, the best VALUE would be the large 96 gallon trash cart.

Regarding Fort Worth Waste Enforcement - You are not aloud to over-stuff your Fort Worth Trash cart. If the lid is sticking up, then that’s too much. A possible solution is to call 817 392 3279 and order “Paid Garbage” bags from the city for your excess waste. You can also hold onto it for Bulk Waste pick-ups or take it to one of the drop-off locations: http://fortworthtexas.gov/solidwaste/dropoff/

Fort Worth Recycling

_The Fort Worth Recycling program is known in the waste industry as “single-stream recycling” or “co-mingle recycling.” This means that you can throw all of your clean recyclable materials into one trash bin and it is taken to a facility to be sorted and recycled. You are not allowed to throw away glass because it contaminates the other recyclables and it is hazardous in the sorting process. The recycling program is not mandatory but we would encourage that you give it a try. The company which has the Fort Worth city waste contract sells the recyclable’s which in-turn keep the regular curbside trash rates lower!

Fort Worth Yard Waste

_The City of Fort Worth will take your yard clippings in a green Fort Worth Yard Waste cart (one-time-fee to purchase of $75). You can also use yard waste trash bags which can be purchased from Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Costco, or various other stores. If you are feeling ambitious, and decide to cut down some tree limbs and do some major hedging – then your residential trash service includes this too. Make sure that all limbs are bundled and are no more than 10 cubic yards. (We’ve heard it said that a good rule of thumb is that your bundle of Fort Worth Yard Waste (sticks and limbs) should not be any larger than a Volkswagen Beetle!)

__Fort Worth Bulk Waste / Fort Worth Drop-Off Stations

_If you have bulky trash items such as a couch, TV, refrigerator, table, etc then the city permits you to put that junk on the curb one-time per month. The same 10 cubic yard limit applies – so make sure your pile of trash is no bigger than a Volkswagen Beetle! If you are non-compliant and you put too much bulk waste on the curb, then you may see an extra charge show-up on your monthly water/waste bill. If you have TON of trash (literally, a TON) you can also take your waste to one of the Fort Worth Drop Off stations! This facility is located on Old Hemphill Road just south of I-20 and west of i-35. It is a little hidden, so be sure and punch the information into your GPS so that you can find it. Keep-in-mind, you MUST be a Fort Worth resident (and have valid updated driver’s license) to use this facility. This is a value-added service that is included in your monthly Fort Worth Trash service and does not cost extra. If you are doing a home remodel, cleaning out your garage, or forgot your 1 x month bulk pick-up day then this is the perfect solution! (You can also drop-off Electronic Waste, Recyclables, and Car Tires… but the limit is 4 tires every 6 months).
